The Danish Renovation Award: Background, concept and experiences.

Five or 10 years ago, the trade press and vocational building programmes took little notice of the field of renovation. New construction received almost all the attention in both the trade press and the curricula of vocational training programmes. To help rectify this situation, GI worked to set up a prize known as the Danish Renovation Award (RENOVER prisen). It has helped raise awareness of the field of renovation, and the renovation sector has welcomed the award with open arms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
